The HOsfOrd amendment 10 the present
libel law, which passed on Tuesday, has
met with some objection By the Governor,
and he wishes TO take several days 10 con
fer with prominent lawyers on the subject
before he approves or vetoes IT, The bill
provides that only actual damages shall be
allowed and that the words actual dam
ages shall De construed TO include al
| damages the plaintiff may show he mas sui
fered in respect to his property, business.
| trade, profession, or occupation. and no
! other damages. IL Is really q Just
| and meritOriOus measure: but its opponents
have asked for its return, and it may vet be
| made a far worse libel Law than the one now
in force. The Game and Fish Warden"
| bill was Gevorably reported by a majority of
the Committee: but Mr.. ;. Baker presented
| a minority report Mr. Baker IS from
| Monroe county, where the game laws are
never heeded by the French aborigniees
| along the shores, and he opposed the
measure in a vigorous speech of about
twenty minutes. The bill is generally fav-
orably considered and will probably pass.
| The Capital punishment for murder and
| rape" bill is on as a special order Tuesday
| next st 2:i5 D. m. The members are load
| ing up for big speeches. The House door
presents an attractive appearance these
| DAYS. Oye- score of menibsre are accom-
panied by handsome wives, and a number
| of lovely children playing around the
| desks. All the members of the House are
married men except :. Baker, Perkins.
| Crocker and Ogg. The latter, however, is a
widOwer, and great ladies man. If the
| quartette are not all married before the end
OF the session, il will not be the fault of tbs
many captig ating ladies who cast loving
| giances in their direction. They claim they
are confirmed bachelors though.
